Hello and welcome to the next chapter of my story What Wasn't Written in Time or for short 3WT as is written on my computer. I hope you all still find this story unique in the time travel section and I hope you like my idea for the school test taking after all this is only the first testvand I hope you're still enjoying this story. I had a hard time deciding who the perspective this chapter would be from because, I will be skipping ahead by almost a month from said person's perspective and almost a year by Ichigo and Byakuya's perspective. So, without further ado I give you (drumroll please) Chapter 7!
Oh, wait… Disclaimer… Ya I don't own so no one sue…

Before anyone can speak up color girl speaks flatly. "Fine, get ready go." Let the games begin and I know just where to go, Ichigo I'm coming.
Chapter 7: What Did They Do?!
*Yamamoto*
Relax. Relax. Let all worldly pressures cease. Relax. Relax. Take a breather before another meeting central demands we have. Stupid bastards. Rel- "Sou-Taicho! Sou-Taicho!" Nope, no relax. No letting it go. Damn my responsibilities, I need to find a successor and soon. If only my prodigies would do but no one is a womanizing drunk and the other is sick! maybe Aizen when he gets more experience ad strength under his belt.
"Yes, Shinjiki-san. How can I be of service?"
Shinjiki made sure to bow low well he spoke to the head of The Gotei 13. "I have come to tell of the oddities in the entrance exam."
I sigh, again the time barrier is showing oddities, maybe we should stop using this test, yes that'll solve this after all not many survive the first few days much less a year in the barrier. "Please raise your head," as his head raises I ask about the oddities he spoke of, though it's probably just wavering in the barrier.
"Ah, yes the oddities, as usual the barrier is wavering but, I came to speak about the happenings inside the barrier." Inside? I wave for him to continue. "It would be easier to understand if you saw it." I raise my eyebrow well puffing my chest a bit to show my displeasure at this idea. He gets the idea and rushes to continue. By this point most of the captains and the vice captains have shown up. "only three examinees have died and the rest have built a castle." I just stare. What else are you to do except-
"A castle, you're kidding right Shinjiki-sensei" the tenth division captain, Shiba Ishin blurts out in true Shiba fashion, arms waving and everything.
"I-indeed Shiba-Taicho, the remaining 157 examines have built a castle and- "he was cut off.
"And there's hardly enough resources for 50 people to last three months much less 157 for a year and build a castle and do more." Koguma, division 12's vice captain spoke up considering she's the one to make the area this time around.
"But, they have! They built a castle with a town around it, what looks to be an arena, and a wall to surround it all."
By this point Shihōin Yūkuro, Captain of division 2 had arrived. "Indeed the examines have, Shihōin- Taicho reporting in on progress of 132nd year examinees." I wave for him to continue. "I was able to infiltrate the city without being seen. Upon inspection, I have found a flourishing city with all clothed and fed, they were so prosperous they were selling clothes, jewelry I would buy for my wife, and strange food. There were bands playing on the street, dancers dancing, and vendors yelling. It was like a recreation of the Greek roman empire! Truly amazing. The dome was indeed an arena though it was empty."
"And the castle?" I had to ask, it was the one thing he didn't mention and the one question that had the captain looking sheepish.
"I became lenient when looking at the town thus when I went to the castle it went up on alert and I was almost spotted."
"So, you don't know who the king is then?" Ukitake- captain of squad 13 asked.
"Or Queen Jū-chan. You never know." Kyōraku- captain of squad 8 intervened.
"Indeed I only know their names by the talk in the town, I have heard of two kings, Taiyo-ō and Mūn-ō and the town is called Yoruhi."
"Hmm, the sun king and the moon king of the moon and sun town." I say out loud. Yet I am talked over by my two favorite students.
"Aw, so it is a guy or rather two guys ruling." Kyōraku whines.
"There, there Shun you know it's difficult for women to raise in power I mean look only two captains are female and only five vice captains." Ukitake tried to sooth him.
At this point Shihōin cleared his throat. "They are called king but, I think they're female." Now this news stunned all silent for about two seconds. Then came havoc. I sigh and raise my cane before slamming Ryūjin Jakka down, quieting the room. "How much time till one year has passed in the barrier?"
"Three days for us Sou-Taicho, 36 and a half days for them." Koguma Taicho spoke up.
"I see. Who would like to see this city themselves?" All the captains and vice captains raised their hands though the most enthusiastic was Shiba Ishin and Kaien (vice to squad 13) and surprisingly Kuchiki Sōjun captain of division 6. "Very well, Why?" I ask as I turn to Shihōin- Taicho.
"I wish to go, so that I can find out who was the one to alert the others of my presence in the castle."
Next was of third division. "Indeed, Though I'm more interested in the strange music."
Next after Mikimune Mo was captain of division 4 Unohana Retsu. "I'm curious on how so many stayed alive."
Now 5th division's captain Hirako Shinji. "The so-called kings are intriguing, who heard of two people sharing the throne and two ladies to boot, how'd they become king if not through brute strength?" Kami help those kings, once Hirako has his eye on you he won't stop till your stripped bare, fugitively speaking.
6th with Byakuya Sōjun, "My son is among those to survive and I wish to see how he is, it'll put my heart and my wife's heart at ease."
7th with Aikawa Rabu. "Do I need a reason to want to see a castle that mind you should have been impossible to build?" Okay, Fair enough. Though I do give him the stink eye for the attitude.
8th, Kyōraku Shunsui. "Queens, need I say more." Womanizing drunk, where did I go wrong.
9th, Muguruma Kensei. "There military must be organized, I'm curious on how."
10th, Shiba Ishin, oh joy. "MY NEPHEW, MY WONDERFUL NEPHEW IS IN THIS EXTRODAARY GROUP! AND I HAVE YET TO MEET HIM! I WISH TO MEET HIM OH GREAT AND POWERFUL SOUTAICHO!" Pray to Kami the nephew is more like Kaien- fukutaicho than Isshin-Taicho.
Moving on, 11th with Kenpachi Mamino the 5th kenpachi, "Fight! They gotta be good to sense Yūkuro even when he does get sloppy." Right, should have known.
12th, Kirio Hikifune. "I'm curious about a boy my vice doused in the beginning, he was very… Interesting and he has yet to show up in the 'dead' zone." Kami help this boy.
Last is 13th division, Ukitake, bless him and let us leave off on a good note. "My fukutaicho has been talking non-stop about his new baby brother for the past eleven months and I wish to meet him all things considered and that he is only 43 and isn't in the 'dead' zone yet." But, peace is too much to ask for. So, all hell broke loose. Kami take me now.
There we are. Who are these two female kings? How'd they build an empire in one year? Where in the world is Ichigo and Byakuya? Who of the captains and vice captains will be going? Oh, and please vote on who you wish Ichigo to be with it is down to two people.
